Hello, I've had this French edition of root since Christmas and I've been having plenty fun with it.

Anybody knows what these extra tokens are for?

There is:

  • a bear
  • the dynasty leaders
  • a cat leader
  • 5 castles
  • 2 rivers with a riverfolk
  • 4 animals with a wheelbarrow

I don't need them for playing the game so I'm guessing they're here for bonus rules, but I've never seen anything mentioning them. Is this for house rules?

I don't recall them in the English version, so it's probably not essential. The expansions come with everything they need.

Root in general has a million unused tokens, though. I have dozens of them in my box I've never used.
